I'm not sure for any track I've chosen. They all sounded pretty much the same to me in quality.

Oh there's no doubt that the devices make a world of difference. Every player has it's subtle (or not so subtle) nuances and adds more or less of it's individual eq colourization. For a lot of 'average quality' audio equipment, I still feel that there's a point where you reach a bitrate threshold where past it you're just splitting hairs and the audible difference is little to none. However, like you said, it really depends on if your gear can accentuate the highs and lows of quality.
